I've never had allergies of any kind. Then I noticed my nose was runny sometimes. Sneezing some. Nothing alarming. Then I woke up and was having trouble swallowing - felt like something was stuck in my throat. Doc said there was tons of drainage - the diagnosis: allergies.
I started zyrtec and flonase, and got a HEPA air purifier. I've had that for about 2 weeks. Annnd now I've developed ear infections in BOTH ears due to the allergies, even taking all that and with the filter. I don't know what else to do. Trying to get on a list to see an allergist to be tested and find out what I'm allergic to, but the wait list is likely long. These ear infections have been awful and the doc said they were "really, really bad". They really knocked me on my butt. I can't keep having this happen.
Even with everything I've done/taken, the symptoms have only mildly improved - maybe 30% with the zyrtec, flonase, and filter combined. I never stop feeling the drainage down the back of my throat. It just never stops, ever.
What should I do? What CAN I do?!
